"The starters are not going to play tonight, all five of them," Vogel said. "We're going to rest them and try to heal up some various bumps and bruises involved with all five guys.

"We're not playing well as a basketball team right now and the starters aren't playing well. Our bench is not playing well. We want to try to get the starters on track by getting their legs back under them and getting them healed up."

The Pacers have won just three of their last seven games, and enter play Wednesday a half-game behind the Miami Heat for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. In March, the Pacers finished 8-10.

Indiana meets Miami for the fourth and final regular-season matchup on Friday night.

"Look, we spent all year with one goal (but at) some point you've got to shift your focus when things aren't going your way," Vogel said. "You (can't) pay attention to what everybody else is doing. Fixing your team (is) the only thing that's on our minds right now. We'll do this tonight. The plan for the starters was two days off (Monday and Tuesday), shooting and conditioning today.

"They'll practice tomorrow and they'll all play in Miami. We may rest some bench guys against Miami. The thought process behind all five guys is, if you sit one or two guys per game then nobody ever finds a rhythm. Finding a rhythm is just as important as getting our guys rest, (that's) part of the solution. So they'll rest this game and they'll all play together and look to find the rhythm Friday night."

The Bucks own the league's worst overall record at 14-63 and also have the second-worst mark at home with only nine wins.
